Abstract
Provided is a guide shoe for a passenger conveyor, including: a base portion to be slid across a skirt guard provided along a moving direction of a plurality of steps that are movably provided; and a weight containing a material having a specific gravity larger than a specific gravity of a material of the base portion, which is provided to the base portion.
Claims12
A guide shoe for a passenger conveyor, comprising:
- a base portion to be slid across a skirt guard disposed along a moving direction of a plurality of movable steps;
- a weight at the base portion;
- and
- a clearance between the weight and a connector of each of the plurality of movable steps, and
- wherein the connector is to hold the base portion.

A guide shoe for a passenger conveyor, comprising:
- a base portion to be slid across a skirt guard disposed along a moving direction of a plurality of movable steps;
- and
- a weight at the base portion,
- wherein the weight is at such a position that a moment of inertia about a combined center of gravity of the base portion and the weight is larger than a moment of inertia about a center of gravity of the base portion in a plane that is orthogonal to a sliding surface of the skirt guard and a sliding surface of the base portion, on which the sliding occurs, and extends along a sliding direction in which the base portion is slid across the skirt guard.
